I'm glad I worked at a startup without benefits while I still had coverage from my parents. I'm also glad I realized I prefer medium-sized companies before I lost that coverage.

I regret the mentality that kept me at shitty jobs for five years. Being afraid the grass wouldn't be greener left me in a cycle of getting mad enough to polish my resume and send it out, but then never really following through.
